Theatre of the Absurd The UK Election

We have had a general election. A new government is now in power. What have we learnt? That our electoral system is not fit for purpose. That a government with a landslide in terms of MP's elected had a lower share of votes when it had far fewer and was deemed to have failed. A government that, despite its perceived mandate, will continue largely with the failed policies of the last gopvernment that was so unceremoniously kicked out of office. What does this mean for us as the British people, and our country? The future both for geopoilitical reasons and the internal failings does not look bright. We need to look at a system that is both more representative, more focused on the needs of our people and nation, and more independent in its world view. Otherwise, we will end up a small, grey island on the outskirts of Europe locked into an ever increasing spiral of decline.
